Abstract

Design and development of novel materials can have a profound impact on the electrochemical properties of energy storage systems. Silver ion when electrochemically reduced to generate conductive silver metal in-situ can provide enhanced conductivity in electrochemical energy storage systems. In this research, Ag2O surface modified silver hollandite (AgxMn8O16, α-MnO2 structure) has been successfully synthesized and its physical, chemical, and electrochemical properties have been studied. The electrochemical tests indicate a higher functional capacity can be delivered with higher Ag2O loading, consistent with an increase in the electric conductivity of the material. This result demonstrates the ability to modulate conductivity in materials by design.
